Pros

I've had an amazing journey in my career always taking chances and fighting for what I believe in. When I found SolarCity I just couldn't get it out of my mind. The challenge, the solutions, the spirit of the movement, it was unlike anything I had ever seen. It didn't take long for the seed to grow into a tree and I knew my destiny was changing the world with SolarCity. We sold our successful coffee shop, packed up our 5 kids and hit the road to make our splash in the world of renewable energy. Since day one I knew I was part of something very special and it was exactly where I wanted to be. If what you seek isn't a job but a purpose, look no further! SolarCity4Life! Oh ya, and the pay, benefits, perks, etc are just as awesome! ;)

Cons

In all honesty, seeing cons in an environment that is so willing to tackle challenges would only reflect on someone's inexperience.

Pros

Just to quantify my review a bit, I am within the top 10% of inside sales reps within our 12,000 person company. It is a great place to work and people doing well ARE able to make good money here. The executive team ALWAYS has a platform for reps to help make SolarCity a better place every quarter. They involve the top 20 reps each quarter in various ways to help their peers through an interactive group called Team Elite. Executives, VP's, Directors, and Managers are always willing to help and go to bat when there are issues with things that need to be fixed. The direction of the company is consistent and although the company is large, decision makers work as hard as possible to steer the big ship quickly when necessary.

Cons

Knee jerk reactions with decision making at a director level create issues from time to time. Culture has had its ups and downs due to HUGE growth last year and subsequent high attrition rates.
